Dc++

bonelipus

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem I am encountering. I have been a fan of DC++ for more than 2 years and just recently the modem I am connecting with just resets itself. That means, DC++ says that there is no connection to the internet. This has been going on for about 3 months progresively getting worst. It started with it doing it once a week to now every 10 minutes!! By reseting I mean, the connection does go away, but the modem lights all suggest that it is still receiving something since non of my modem's lights really go out. But I don't have internet access. I have to unplug the modem and the connection resumes just to shut down again. At first I thought it was a modem problem, but I have left my modem on all night and it has a connection the minute I get up. I thought I had a virus, but Norton Security suite does not pick anything up. I re-installed windows on the computer that I do all my downloads with, and again everything is fine until I start downloading from DC++. I can be on the internet, and I never loose my connection until I start downloading from DC++!! Is there something I am missing?? I am connected right now to the internet to write this letter. No connection problems. If I go to DC++, my modem resets!! What gives??. I am at my witts end. Has anyone else experience anything like this before? If it's the modem, then why does it only do it when I am on DC++?? Any help would be appreciatted.

Just in case you are all wondering, I have downloaded the latest version of DC++. I worked previously with Windows XP Home Edition and now I have installed Windows XP pro and still the same problem.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. None of the other P2P programs cause it for me, just DC++ and RevConnect. I hope somebody can answer this problem.

which norton internet security are U using
i have heard that the norton internet 2006 has some problems with dc++

Using Norton Internet Suite 2005. Do you really think Norton could be causing this? I have had Norton on my pc for the last 6 years and I never had any kinds of conflicts with it.

Ohh well, I guess this is one of those freaky things that happens to me and a couple other poeple. Right now, sometimes, it will stay on for 3 to 4 hours and then reset so it's never really the same amount of time before it does it again. Again it's only when I am in DC++, it never does it any other time so go figure. I tried Revconnect and it's ok for singles, but whole CD's it blows, I'm gonna try Azeures, but I am not that familiar with the whole bit torrent scene, I guess I will have to go back and read some of your old threads to get a handle on this beast.
